Sažetak
Parents seek to involve their children in various leisure activities as they believe this will enable them to acquire specific and better skills. Among them are various physical activities that are globally perceived as important. This paper sought to examine how important physical activity is perceived by parents, and what activities do they give priority when choosing content in which their child will engage in in their spare time. The aim of the study was to determine the parents' attitudes about the physical activities of their children in their leisure time. The study was conducted on a sample of 207 participants and examined the parents' perceptions of the importance of physical activities of their children and the relation of physical activities to educational ones. The results showed that parents find physical activities more useful than educational. The results are interesting and reveal new dimensions that will be explored by further research, such as a statistically significant difference between the perceived usefulness of team and individual sports.
